Document Summary

Aer 615 aircraft performance: customer requirements: fuel consumption, payload, range, speed, refueling. We"ll also look at material that relates to flight economics, where appropriate. Consider the process of defining, designing, building and supporting a new airplane. Initially, the aerospace manufacturer (original equipment manufacturer [oem], like. Bombardier, boeing, airbus, etc. ) would want to define as best as possible the product, and they typically do this through creating a major top-level document commonly entitled something along the lines of marketing requirements & objectives (mr&o). This report would contain various items related to finance, partner/contractor support, training and guarantees. Of interest to this course, the report would also contain something along the lines of design requirements & objectives (dr&o), which would outline the technical characteristics of the airplane that the company"s engineering team will have to address. Note that a requirement is a must have , while an objective is a nice to have .
